The Junior League of Las Vegas maintains it and has tours. I had no idea who Antonio Morelli was. He was the music director at the Sands. This house is maintained to look like it was during the 1960s. He lived in this house. The house actually was moved here and has an interesting story about that. Go to the League website. If you're interesting in a tour you have to sign up for it. It's only during certain times.

For a long time, I have wanted to tour the Morelli house in DTLV. Last Saturday, I took the…read moreopportunity and went for the 11:30 AM tour. The Junior League of Las Vegas uses this house as its headquarters but it was also their mission to preserve the house as one of their projects. The house is a great example of mid-century modern architecture. Originally, it was located on the golf course of the Desert Inn Country Club Estates on the Sands/Twain side. When Steve Wynn bought the Desert Inn, the houses from the Estates were leveled except for the Morelli house which was able to be moved. It was the only home with a crawl space and thus could be lifted up to be moved. The house was donated to the Junior League. Part of the tour is a video of moving the house on September 30, 2001, and it's quite interesting to see its move to Eastern, down to Fremont, and up 9th to Bridger. The interior contains many things we don't see in houses today. The tile work of the sinks in the bathroom are amazing, and the step down shower in the master bath is amazing. The Junior League women do the tour and it's quite interesting. Thanks to them, this house has survived and with it part of Las Vegas history. For those who don't know, Antonio Morelli was the musical director for the Sands Hotel.

I cannot recommend this highly enough. Our guide, Kelly, had old pictures and knew so much of this history of Old Las Vegas. It was amazing!! He told us where to get affordable water (ABC stores) and why ABC stores (which are Hawaii-based stores) are around, took us through the history of so many hotels and the highlights. We did this in December, so I am sure it is a lot hotter in the summer, but there is a lot of indoor space. I'd still recommend a water bottle. All of us loved learning and he was a great story teller. You go all the way down to Container Park and get some coupons and restaurant tip sheet at the end. You will be on your feet for two hours so wear comfy shoes. But we actually would consider staying down in "old Las Vegas" the next time we come, all because of this tour.

The Arts District History Behind the Murals Bus Tour. On the Scotch 80 tour our tour guide Amanda provided information on each home and history of the neighborhood. The pace for the 1.5 hour tour was appropriate and we completed just before the rain started. A 5 star rating. The tour of the arts district was beautiful. The details and explanation of the murals were well presented by our tour guide Paco. He is well versed on the neighborhood. The only improvement recommended is to describe the tour as a Walking Tour. The bus was basically used as transportatation to and from the arts district. My wife is not able to walk the distance and remained in the bus during the tour. For this reason a 4 star rating.

I will say that I was pleasantly surprised and impressed with how much material they packed into this tour and given that it is almost 3 hours, you really do get a lot of bang for your buck. There is a free parking lot attached and as many will point out this is not in a great part of town so if you are visiting during the night it is best to be driven in and out versus walking in and out. They do not allow photography inside so I only have a few pictures from the beginning of the visit, but I would definitely recommend to anyone because it is a really fun experience and it is also very unique. As mentioned I don't believe in any of these things so it was even fun for a non-believer like myself. Overall, a really fun Vegas activity and I would recommend to anyone, and if you are a believer it is even more of a memorable experience I would imagine.

I love how they have outlined the Westside on a grid listing all the familiar streets. Graded pathways that walk you through all of the history of this area of Las Vegas are all around. There are plans to install more sculptures of leaders in the park but for now the first sculpture to be installed is President Obama sitting comfortably next to three of his favorite books. The park itself is a nice size and just a nice place to read or enjoy being outdoors. I hope the park stays nice and is not destroyed. It is an educational park that would be a great place to bring the kids to learn more about the history of our city. Location is right off of Martin Luther King Blvd behind the El Pollo Loco. Don't miss the photo murals that are on the walkway leading to the park. Thanks to Commissioner Lawrence Weekly for helping to facilitate the creation of this park.

If you go in expecting a quick walkthrough or something you can half-pay-attention to, I can see why it might feel confusing or underwhelming. But if you take your time, start opening doors you're not sure you're supposed to open, and actually lean into the story and details, it becomes a completely different experience. There's so much layered into it visually and conceptually that I found myself going down rabbit holes (sometimes literally) trying to piece things together. It's chaotic in the best way. That said, it's not my favorite Meow Wolf location overall - but I still think it's absolutely worth a visit if you're in Vegas. Even on the lower end of their locations, it's still one of the more unique immersive art experiences you'll find anywhere on the Strip.

I later learned that this is interactive art at its finest in Las Vegas. On a recent trip to Las Vegas, my friend and I decided to give it a try and see if it lived up to its hype. We purchased our tickets online in advance and selected a specific day and time to go through the experience at AREA 15. We arrived in time for a 11:20 AM entrance to the Omega Mart. I brought an empty water bottle to fill up inside AREA 15 as I knew I'd get thirsty (and you're not supposed to bring full water bottles or other food or drinks into AREA 15. We went through a small security station to get inside, and then we were let loose in the most unusual grocery store I have ever been in. I was told to expect to take at least two hours and perhaps three to four hours in Omega Mart. You could buy an "Employee Card" for additional access to different features. I was told before I go to just enjoy the experience and not to overthink things. If I went back a second time, I may want to really dive into the story that we were following which went over my head on my first visit in such a short time. Some people buy passes to keep going back over a season. Definitely be prepared to touch things both in the store and in the various portals. You never know what you may find yourself controlling. It may surprise you how different the store itself is from the various portals. During the summer, there are even characters that you can interact with in the portals. Otherwise, I don't think it would be appropriate to discuss how to get to any of the portals or what to expect in the portals themselves. I will post some images of the incredible artwork you may see should you find the correct portals, but finding it and making sense of it is up to you. Think of the story as a mystery, and don't start too late in the day as you may get tired sooner than later. Also, have fun looking closely at the items in the store as the items are very creative. You can even purchase many of them as souvenirs. Also be on the lookout for a secret bar hidden in one of the secret rooms. The Omega Mart experience is Meow Wolf Las Vegas as an immersive art experience. There are other Meow Wolf experiences around the country. You can learn more about Meow Wolf Las Vegas at https://meowwolf.com/visit/las-vegas including buying tickets and learning what to expect. Though you may find the cost to be quite high, definitely give it a try at least once for the unique experience!
